A recent World Health Organization (WHO) report showed that condom use among adolescents has declined in many countries. Among 15 year olds between 2014 and 2022, the percentage of boys reporting condom use at last intercourse dropped from about 70 percent to about 61 percent. For girls, the number fell from about 63 percent to about 57 percent.
Around one third of adolescents reported using neither a condom nor the contraceptive pill the last time they had sex.
